Hello. Yes, front-end specialization is viable today, with strong demand for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript expertise. Employers often separate front-end and back-end roles, though knowledge of frameworks like React or Vue.js can boost your prospects. Freelancing payment issues persist but are mitigated with contracts, deposits, and secure platforms like Upwork. For learning, focus on modern HTML, CSS (Flexbox/Grid), JavaScript, and frameworks, while exploring Git and build tools. Back-end basics like PHP or Node.js can be a bonus. Your background in clean coding is a strong foundation—combine it with updated skills to excel in the field!
Hello! My name is Brendan, friends often call me Brando. Am not to the community and wanted to introduce myself.
I try to maintain Beginners Mind at all times. But I am not a coding beginner. I first learned to code when I was about 10 years old with Cobol, Pascal, BASIC.
Fast forward, I do dotnet on the backend and Angular on the frontend. I am here to become better at the business side of coding. Pitching ideas, making proposals, managing clients, when to say "no" to a client or project, maybe developing some kind of SAS solution. Bringing peace and love to the world. Making some more of those delicious grreenbacks.
Fact is, I love coding and want to do a better job at offering and executing solutions. Am always happy to help or chat with anyone into dotnet and/or Angular. Hit me up. Am getting into .net Maui for mobile app dev too.
Howdy from Cincinnati OH. Very new here and to the world of web dev and coding. Aside from the recommendations of starting with HTML, CSS, PHP, what else should I know? Please and thank you 🖖
